Room clean and bed comfortable. Good sleep. Housekeeping staff were very helpful. Broadband signal was very weak and useless. No excuse in 2025 free or not. Not very happy in having to show ID when checking in as a British Citizen. Hotel stated it was enforced by West Midland Police. Only found out when carrying out on line checking. No info on Expedia wgen booked..

The hotel doesn't have a car park, which is declared on Expedia. I arrived late at night and was instructed to park my car on the street, which doesn't look safe at all. I asked for a refund, but was turned down.

I didnt know what to expect, cos of the mixed nature of previous review. However, I was surprised. The hotel is old, obviously but they have done their best to keep it clean and tidy. The hallway to my floor was a bit dank, but it could be due to anything. The room however was very clean, comfortable I dare say. The rug could be changed but it was not an irritation. Everything you need for a basic room was there, including an Iron. So yes, I was surprised.

Terrible

Refused check in because we had no ID. Wasn't informed before hand we needed any. Stopped in many hotels in the UK and never needed my ID. Staff were extremely rude and very unhelpful, just saying that there was plenty of 9ther hotels we could try. Wouldn't give us any details to help with a refund and became aggressive trying to force us. Avoid this place at all costs.

Miserable

Just a miserable experience from the moment I arrived. No parking, tired old hotel, staff seemed like she didn’t want to be there. Barriers everywhere as if it was about to be burgled, terrible shower, terrifying lift, and most of all £120 for the night!! I’d have been disappointed if I paid half that price.

Good price but poor cleanliness service & sleep

On arrival the car park on the hotel website was wrong, I had to pop into the hotel and ask. The lady on the desk handed me a sheet of paper with a different, much, much more expensive car park. I asked for directions but she didn't know how to get there by car. I manager to find the road, but top tip, drive 50 metres down the road from the big car park and there is another small 24 hour csr park that is half the price. The room was okay, pretty much as you'd expect for the price but it was unpleasant to see what was behind the bedside cabinet when I was looking for a plug socket. In the evening I was woken around 4.30-5 by the fire alarm going off, then back on again three times and then the red flashing light staying on for a further few minutes. I struggled to fall back to sleep. On the whole I'd not book here again unless I had no alternative.

Would give this a miss.

I was hopeful when I saw the lobby but the hotel is getting quite run down. It was hot when we were there, there is no air conditioning and the windows (I am assuming for safety) only opened a few inches so it was nearly impossible to get any air into the room unless I also opened the door (with limited effect).

Worst service in Coventry

The worst service I’ve seen ever. It was too cold. Night around 2 AM I contacted the reception to turn on the heater. But they said they can’t do it. The way they responded was too harsh as if I’m staying without paying. This is really the worst experience I’ve ever faced.
